Apparently we have lost Eastern US Weather

[Jason Foster]

I never got involved with that forum. For starters, I have a hard time participating in discussions where people are largely anonymous, using handles like "Bubba234." One of the big reasons I like ST is that it has more of a personal feel.

I agree there. Fortysouth.com is not bad. We actually had a little get-together with some of the local DC folks which helped breakdown the 'anonymous' part. If usernames are not direct names, I then see if they have a signature with a name or website that is also an 'identity' of sorts (like my website).

Interestingly, AmericanWX seems to be going through some issues at the moment as I and many others can't seem to reach that site at the moment.

As an owner of a few weather-related forums myself, I am sad to see eastern go. I always enjoyed lurking there and reading the intelligent conversations. I just wish I had enough money to buy the community and keep it going! I wish the eastern administrators some good luck in what ever their plans are!
